Abstract: A vehicle roof assembly is coupled to a windshield. The roof assembly includes an outer roof member and an inner roof member which form a duct for conducting conditioned air therethrough. A body panel includes a front panel and a bottom panel which are integrally joined together at a corner. The corner has a plurality of apertures formed therein. An adhesive strip attaches an upper edge of the windshield to the front panel. The apertures receive conditioned air from the duct and form an airflow boundary layer which flows over an inner surface of the windshield. This assembly forms a windshield defogging system.

Abstract: A flexible fender mounting assembly supports a fender on a vehicle. The assembly includes a vibration isolator with a hollow housing fixed to the vehicle, a rod attached to the fender and the isolator. The isolator also has a hollow resilient member received in the housing. A rigid hollow tube is received by the resilient member and extends to an outer end spaced apart from the resilient member. The rod is received by the tube and is welded to an end of the tube. The fender has a plurality of pairs of tabs, each pair of tabs forming a slot therebetween. The rod is received by the slots and is clamped to an inner surface of the fender by a clamps.
